Your program crashes, plain and simple. To quote the Reference Manual: 2.1.1 Atoms and Sequences ..Sequences can be nested to any depth, i.e. you can have sequences within sequences within sequences and so on to any depth (until you run out of memory)... ~Greg On Thu, 23 Sep 2004 22:34:46 -0400, George Walters <gwalters at sc.rr.com> wrote: > > Can someone tell me what happens when you are building a large sequence > that grows larger than the memory of the computer (windows). > > george > > > >

And virtual memory. Windows will cause the system to fake more and more memory until all the virtual is gone as well. At that point. Depending on your OS. As in which version of Windows. You will either end up with a warning of low resources or an eventual system crash. All top posters should be lined up by a newly dug ditch. Then the machine gun can let lose so the bodies just fall directly into the massive grave. unkmar PS: Sorry, I meant to say that top posting is very annoying. And, STOP IT!

Or the OS swaps it to swap memory on the harddrive, till it uses that up, and *then* it crashes. Or win95 will say it's used up all the memory, slap it in the face, and shut it down when i click "OK". Kat
